Rochester, Indiana, USA:
Elmo Lincoln, eigentlich Otto Elmo Linkenhelt, war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. Der ehemalige Schutzmann wurde von David Wark Griffith entdeckt. In den nächsten Jahren war er in mehreren Griffith-Filmen zu sehen. Seinen eigentlichen Durchbruch verdankte er jedoch einem Zufall. 1916 hatte der Versicherungskaufmann William „Bill“ Parson bei Edgar Rice Burroughs die Filmrechte für dessen Roman Tarzan of the Apes abgeschlossen. Am 27. Januar 1918 startete Tarzan of the Apes im New Yorker „Broadway-Theater“ und wurde ein Riesenerfolg. Danach wandte sich Lincoln anderen Projekten zu, schlüpfte aber 1921 in Adventure of Tarzan noch einmal in die Rolle des Dschungelhelden. Der Film war ein großer Erfolg, hatte aber zur Folge, dass Lincoln von nun an mit dem Image des „Affenmenschen“ belegt war und kaum noch Chancen auf andere Hauptrollen hatte. Er spielte fast nur noch Nebenrollen und trat sogar, in der Rolle des Tarzan, als Zirkussensation auf.
